Look What I Made

 


Another old shutter project.

I also refurbished that twig wreath pictured in the header.  I tried to put the bow where the part was lost.  This wreath hung unadorned on our house one year ago when the house was put up for sale.

Notice the clapboard is white still - a sorry saga of a house painter who promises and promises but fails to even show up. We are very close to canceling this contract and if we do we wonder if we will get any of the sizable 1/3 deposit back.

Good looking decorations. What has happened to your house painter? I'm so sorry that it's been delayed (and may be canceled with that crew.) I know you all have had lots of waiting while different construction projects were delayed. So sorry.

Oh that is so cute - great job.
Love the twig wreath you made too.

The twig wreath and repurposed shutter are perfect for the season, Marcia. Too bad the house painter has yet to make a showing and sure hope you can recoup your deposit if you cancel the contract as it seems you have been more than patient all summer.

A very clever transformation of the shutter. Pity you can't do that to your no show painter.
